Event description

Description

Where will you be in five years? If you are considering a career in industry - how will you get there? If you are mentoring someone considering a transition from academia to industry - what advice do you share? What are the key skills and attributes industry seeks in their future STEM workforce?

The Industry Mentoring Network in STEM (IMNIS) welcomes you to our feature event in Queensland for 2019 where you will hear from STEM professionals in industry with expertise in different parts of the MedTech-Pharma and Energy-Minerals industry sectors. Learn how they apply their STEM training to lead and excel in a range of rewarding roles. An expert panel will discuss transferable skills, implicit skills (also called 'soft' skills), the value of a professional network, potential jobs of the future, the industry sector in QLD and their top tips for career success.

Professor Bronwyn Harch, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) and Vice-President (Research) at The University of Queensland will deliver opening remarks at this event. Professor Harch is an applied statistician with 22 years experience leading and undertaking research focused at the nexus of agricultural and environmental systems. She is passionate about making an impact by generating knowledge, technology and practices that make our world more sustainable, secure and resilient. Bronwyn is also on the Board of Innovation and Science Australia, an independent body responsible for researching, planning, and advising the Government on all science, research and innovation matters.

There will be time for questions and tea and coffee will be served (registration opens 7:30 am). This event is for all mentors and mentees participating in the IMNIS programs in Queensland. Other STEM students, postdocs and industry professionals are also welcome to attend. Seats are limited so registration is essential.

IMNIS is a national initiative of the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering. The Academy is grateful to IMNIS Partners - MTPConnect, METS Ignited, NERA, AusBiotech and Mentorloop - and Sponsors BHP, KPMG and CSL, for their ongoing support of this flagship initiative.

Industry professionals who mentor with IMNIS generously donate their time, energy and expertise to the development of Australia's future leaders in STEM. The Academy gratefully acknowledges their visionary leadership and investment in the future STEM workforce.
